Grandma
Dear Grandma,
I know now you are in heaven. However, I still don't believe the truth. I miss you so much cos you are one the of best things that have ever happened in my life.
Recalling the memories, I have regretted not spending much time with you, that i should have had to. I thanks God for your coming into my life, making it more beautiful than ever.
You are the one who had taught me how to cook, how to do the housework, who had shown me everything a girl should do, but i didn't take notice of these much cos i was a little girl at that time, i didn't realize how worthy your words were. I was so innocent, i didn't care you much. I should have stayed at home with you, taking care of you instead of going out with friends. I should have appreciated every moment we had dinner together rather than eating out with friends. I was so stupid that i didn't expect how my life would be without you one day.
The day when i was announced of your dead, i couldn't believe in what i heard. I didn't cry, even a little cos i lost the something in my life and this lost is so big that tears can't heal it.
Now, I feel so lonely. When i eat something that is your favorite, it reminds me of you. Your kind face appears and I miss the past.
If only i had expressed how much I love you when you were still with me and the family. All is too late.
If I had a wish, I would take a chance to come back the past to tell you that I love you so much and to do all thing that can make you happy and that a grandchild should do.
Rest in peace, grandma. Though you are somehow in somewhere, the family and I will also think of you, miss you and love you. This love will never change cos we feel grateful to God for having let us meet you. For me, you are the most wonderful woman in the world.
I love you, grandma!

Hi Truc!
This is very good, and very touching. I am sorry for your loss of your grandmother, I know this can be very difficult.
Your English is very good! I only made some corrections for you that are more advanced, and here I will explain them so you can learn:
1) "cos" = "because" . When writing English, we NEVER abbreviate words such as this. I think you may have seen English speakers write "cos" somewhere on the internet, but this is very informal, or slang. It is not correct, and it only appropriate to use this if you are sending a text to your friend! :)
2) "i" = "I" . We ALWAYS use a capital "I", when using this personal pronoun. Again you may have seen a lowercase "i" on the internet; it is informal and slang, only appropriate or used in a text to your friend.
3) "worthy" = "valuable" . I understand your mistake, this is just a particular usage. When talking about the worth of some object, we often say that it is valuable. For example, the jewelry was very valuable", or, "my grandmother taught me a valuable lesson." (so it is used for something or someone that has a high worth or value in terms of money, or in terms of special meaning for you). We say something or someone is "worthy" very rarely. We might only say someone or something is "worthy of ___(something)___", for example: "He is worthy of my love", or "His speech was worthy of applause."
4) "grandma" = "Grandma" . This is a more advanced lesson as well. This is a lesson about how we capitalize the first letter when we are speaking directly to someone, because then it is the name we are calling them. For example, if you are talking about your teacher to your friend, you say "I like my teacher very much." But if you are talking to your teacher, and you call her "Teacher", then you capitalize the first letter, "Teacher, I have a question." It is the same for Grandma, as well as Grandpa, Mom, Dad, etc. So in this letter, you are talking TO your grandmother, so you will capitalize the first letter
